HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH RETAIL DESIGN AND BRAND DESIGN 

Design Portfolio Method©
 
Design Portfolio was formed in March of 1986. Its Principals, Rae & Yuri Bolotin, created a unique company that focuses on Retail Design and Brand design.

Most interior design projects look good when they open. Some will become thriving businesses, whereas others will fail and close their doors. Retail and brand design is the only area of design that allows to objectively measure the outcome of each project. Retail premises are often the same size before and after refurbishment, they sell the same product range, have the same price structure, the same sales people, and the same location. But when sales increase dramatically after the installation of a new concept (in some of our cases, by 40, 50 or 95%), you know the design was truly successful.

This philosophy, to judge the success of our design by the improvements in clients' businesses, became a key to all the services provided by Design Portfolio. In fact, driven by this goal Design Portfolio created, tested and fine-tuned many hundreds of different projects over the years to determine a unique method of 'design for the bottom line' - The Design Portfolio Method©.

The Design Portfolio Method© works for any type of retail format. In fact, the word 'retail' is understood as any commercial environment where customers come in and transactions take place (so that we can measure results!)

What it means is that you can be selling products, of all kinds of services, or anything else that requires customers buying from you, and this method will apply.

The Design Portfolio Method© includes a comprehensive package of integrated services and brings a factual, logical approach to challenges offered. It is based on an in-depth understanding of our clients' products, customer profiles, business objectives, marketing and operational requirements.

It is not possible to cover all aspects of the Design Portfolio Method© here. Contact us and we will be delighted to go over it in greater detail. See Clients' Comments about the results we helped them achieve.
